Install 10.2.1 using sachesi?

One last question.........When I read the Sticky instructions for a non-destructive install a new OS leak, there is no mention of .bar files and yet I see some talk of these .bar files as a requirement to install an OS via Sachesi. Which is it? Thanks

If you download with Sachesi, it makes a folder in the same directory you run Sachesi from.
ie: I have it in Blackberry, makes a folder with number, example: 10.2.1.2102 (SW version).
Then just click the install tab, point it to the folder and wait approximately an hour or less.
Signed bar files is what the OS in based on. I got the Vodaphone UK version, folder
has 154 bar files at 1.12gb.HTH.

OK, I finally took the plunge and did the 10.2.1 using Sachesi. The whole process took about an hour, maybe less once Sachesi started the transfer and update to my Q10 (Verizon). I used the settings for Rogers: 302 country code,720 carrier, Q10 device, and SQN-100-1 for variant even though the Verizon is a -2. The new update is less than an hour old at this point but I have no problems that I have seen. I did the Link backup, but didn't need to restore it because everything was still there. I do have a couple of Rogers icons that I can't seem to delete, but the Verizon icons are the same way when you get a Verizon update. At this point, I'm glad I did it and I'm sorry that Verizon is such a PITA when it comes to supporting BB and their customers by not releasing official updates in a reasonable time. If you are hesitating using Sachesi, like I was, do your homework here on CB and go for it. Very easy and straight forward.

Hi cobra boy,
we got rid with as much as possible of technical points and terms.
FYI, all the files (incl. bars) are located within the folder Sachesi will create when downloading the update and you will point to it later in the process.
So, don't bother, just follow the instructions and it'll be fine !
P.S: of course, if you're curious you can have a look within the folder, but don't rename/delete anything !
Cheers

I did the full backup. I followed the instructions to the letter. I have done one reboot to make sure it gets everything in the right place.

Right now it seems to be indexing. But it was great (and I didn't have to remember passwords).

Sachesi would not accept my password. I saw a posting that said this might be a problem and to unplug the USB cable then plug it in again. Then Sachesi accepted my password and we were off to the installation races.

This usually happens when another application (eg. Link) attempts to log in at the same time.

The log-in method can only cope with a single application at the same time and doesn't understand the concept of 'sessions'.
So if Link says 'I'd like to log in'
Then Z10 replies 'Sure, what's the password' (more complicated than this)
Then Sachesi says 'I'd like to log in'.
Then the Z10 says 'Errrr! Wrong! The password isn't "I'd like to log in" -- 4 attempts remaining'

Typically look at these forums to find out what country/carrier to use. Q10 and Q5 and all variants have the same radio.

Be sure you've installed the latest Link version (just to be sure you have latest drivers). I wouldn't be surprised you plugged your device into a USB3 port. If you can, avoid them; I've had some similar BSOD troubles using them on my W8 64bits desktop .
Note: USB3 ports are generally marked while USB2 ports aren't (and there's usually at least one USB2 at the back of a desktop ).

Never used sachesi before. Would appreciate some help. Did a search but was unable to find an answer. So two questions please :

1. If I use the sachesi method to update the os on my Q10 to .3175 will I need to rebuild all my Android Apps ? I know it's referred to as non destructive - but not sure what that means exactly. Yes Ihave a back up. yes I know I do a restore. every time I do OTA it wipes out all the Andriod installs and Ihave to reload them again. Is it the 'same' with sachesi method ?

2. My Q10 is SQN100-5 - the update on sachesi refers to SQN100-3 - does this matter to me - can only use sqn100-5 version or this available version will work fine ?

1. The only Android app I use regularly is Google Maps, and it is unaffected by a Sachesi update. Perhaps a gamer can weigh in here regarding saved games & scores.

2. All SQN models can use the same Q10 updates and radios.

Non-destructive updates do not mess with any apps installed. This includes the saved fame states of Android games. That's why many of us prefer them.

I have never heard of an OTA upgrade wiping out Android installed applications, or any applications for that matter.

For the record, with a non-destructive upgrade that was successful you do not perform a restore. Perhaps you were doing a restore when you didn't need to which up until recently would wipe out Android installed apps.

First, thanks for the reply(s). Second I successfully completed the update using sachesi - it woked flawlessly. Everything woks. It was quick and with all the How To thread, easy. Bring on 10.3. .
